Knitting Fun

Monkey boy knitting his scarf

It’s the school holidays and time for the kids to learn some new skills. This holidays we decided to learn knitting so the kids could their own scarf to use during their winter vacations. This year we will be going skiing if we manage to catch the snow during our trip overseas so having handmade scarves would certainly come in handy.

Bi Color Scarf

This was the first scarf that Doggie boy and I knitted together. We didn’t do a good job at estimating the number of balls of thread we needed to complete the scarf so as a result we used two balls of different colors instead.

Doggie boy’s scarf

This is the 2nd piece which I did. A red scarf for Doggie boy. It gets easier to knit with practice.

The scarf I knitted for Tiger girl

Since the boys already had their scarfs done I did one up for the girl too.

Do you enjoy knitting?

The Hoop Kid from Elmdale Park

Dominique Book Review, Parenting and Kids

Book Cover

The Hoop Kid from Elmdale Park by Teko Bernard is about Bernard’s trip to his grandparents place. Bernard wanted to spend the time at his grandparents place honing his basketball skills little did he know that he would be leading a team in the Annual Elmdale Park Basketball Tournament to save the park from being turned into a landfill.

Bernard not only saved the park but also helped his dad realize his dream of turning the park into a state of the art recreational center for the benefit of the population.

My thoughts

I find this book a very engaging read. I love the message of working hard and striving to achieve their best. Good triumphing over evil in the end when the Jones managed to prevent Franco from carrying out his scheme to turn the place into a landfill.

This is certainly a book which my kids would enjoy reading.
